I feel that there has been progress made since I was a boy on matters of race, but we have a long way to go.

Initially when I stopped playing, I had accumulated some burnout.

I read that Hollywood wanted to film Fences years ago with a white director, but [August] Wilson refused. He thought that the director needed to have lived the culture of black Americans.

It's hard for young players to see the big picture. They just see three or four years down the road.

I have been coaching recently. I coached high school basketball in Arizona, and I hope that more opportunities become available.

Ken Heitz got drafted by the Bucks the same year I did. He went to their camp just for the experience, then dropped out to attend Harvard Law School. I always admired his combination of athleticism and brains.

I'm not going to disappear.
